Scrapbook Summer 2026

12 weeks of creativity & whimsy!

Below are all of the materials I will be purchasing for the 12 weeks ahead as well as some inspiration for different ways to format each week’s scrapbook page. You can always DM me or comment here with any questions! If you post your pagees to IG, i’d love to see them & re-post, so please tag me or use #scrapbooksummer ⭐

THE SCRAPBOOK

1. Thrift it! I found my brown paper book in the frame/photobook section of Goodwill for under $5

2. Use a journal/notebook! A giant book might feel intimidating, so feel free to something as simple as a spiral notebook. Walmart & Target have great options.

3. Get an *actual* scrapbook on Amazon! I’ll link the one I recommend:

THE PHOTO PRINTING

1. Print at local Walgreens/Walmart print! This is what I do. I submit my photos Saturday evening or Sunday morning and they are ready for pickup in the afternoon! At Walgreens you can use this code for 40% off: Surprise40

2. Print at home! If you have access to a printer, you could go with all B&W or color on normal print paper

3. Print on portable photo printer (pricy up-front, but can be a good investment)

4. No photo printing! Just junk journal & collect physical paper memories from the week (receipts, stickers etc,) and do mini journaling about something that happened each day of that week!

THE STICKING

1. Double-sided Tape Roller! THESE ARE AMAZING. I used all 12 of this pack last year 😅 but they make it SO easy to stick anything and everything to the page.

2. Glue stick! Works well but I’m impatient & don’t want to wait for it to dry lol

3. Normal tape! You can tape the edges with decorative tape, or clear tape! No need to hide if you don’t want to.

THE CREATING

Here is where the fun happens! Really all you need is: the scrapbook, the photos & a way to stick them BUT there’s an infinite amount of extra you can use. Here’s a small but mighty list of ideas:

• Markers/pens/colored pencils

• Stickers

• Tickets

• Dried flowers

• Receipts

• Notes from friends

• Magazine cut-outs

• Grocery list

Basically, anything that you feel reflects/represents the week you had!

Here’s an example of materials:
